How about not even close!


Dawn of the Dead was directed by George Romero in 1978. Zombie was directed by Lucio Fulci in 1979.


I did, however, find one thing calling the official title of the original Dawn of the Dead this... 'Zombie: Dawn of the Dead', so I guess that must have been what he was refering to. Maybe he hasn't seen Fulci's Zombie yet.

[Miss Olivia]

You have Aliens but not Alien.....which is WAY more of a horror movie....

[makemebad]

good list

This list would challenge even the most advanced collectors.

91 London After Midnight

http://imdb.com/title/tt0018097/trivia

I assume it is still considered lost.

[crazy raplh]

i am not sure if I could put together a top 100 list.

[crabapple]

Yes, apparently you've both seen and have a copy of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, so, of course, you will now send me your copy of it so that I then may own this classic film. Here is a bubble-padded envelope. The post office is right over there. Mail this to me now. Thank you.

I could never put together a top 100 movies list, let alone a top 100 horror movies list.

BTW- Good list for a beginner Chris. The Hills Have Eyes (remake), was, without a doubt, the best made remake ever (scored 4.5/5 from me)! But, it doesn't even come close, IMO, to the excellence that was the original. Still a good list for a beginner.

It probably isn't, like you say, but compiling all of the movies that I love into one list, in a specific order, does seem a little bit challenging for me. I tried it once, and, sadly, I forgot a few (which isn't really a good sign for those particular movies). I'm pretty sure I could do a top 100 Horror list a lot easier though.

Well, what I was refering to is that Dawn of the Dead was released in Italy undder the name Zombie, re-edited by Dario Argento. It's still the same movie, but it's (supposedly) alot different. Ive yet to see that version myself.

I believe Dawn of the Dead in Europe was released as Zombi and to cash in on the popularity of that movie (and send out his own little tribute to a movie he loved) Argento released his film as Zombi 2. In America the rated version of Argento's was called Zombie I believe, while the unrated (and best) version is still titled Zombi 2. I probably missed stuff or maybe I'm wrong all together but that's how I remember the story.

[KRUGERKID13]

Dawn of the dead was released in italy as Zombi fulci released his film as Zombi 2 to run with the success of Romeo's film. In america however Fulci's film is known as Zombi so yes Zombie and Zombie 2 are the same movies in america and Dawn of the dead and Zombi are the same movies in itally or you could say Dawn of the Dead is the same as Zombi 2 which is know known as Zombi here in the states and yes i have seen fulcis zombi i have all five of the zombie movies do not question me for you are wrong.

your right but its Fulci's zombie not Argento he produced and co-wrote Romero's Dawn of the Dead

[CHRIS24]

Ok apparently there are alot of different titles to these to movies in different countries. that would be pretty stupid of me to put down dawn of the dead and then put down another dawn of the dead as zombie. the zombie imtalking about fulcis of course I wouldnt have a clue or I wouldnt care less about another dawn of the dead that came from italy or who knows where. That was funny very amusing.

Thats so weird why would argento edit romeros dawn of the dead?

[crabapple]

it looks like SOMEONE around here needs to go to...........ZOMBIE COLLEGE!

[CHRIS24]

well ya learn something new everyday and There are plenty of other people inthis forum that really intrigue me with the amount of information they have on subjects.

[crabapple]

I wanted to say that I thought the Argento cut ("Zombi") was pretty entertaining and interesting, featuring not only tons more Goblin music but a lot of the original dialogue as it was recorded during production. In a lot of instances I liked the way the actors delivered the lines better than the way they were eventually dubbed. I know I mentioned this on another thread, or more than one, but I really loved those deliveries!

Very true! This message board has the biggest selection of geeks--I mean, devoted scholars--I've ever seen! Some very smart and educated people here.

Me too. And at just under 2 hours, it was the perfect length. I thought Argento did a great job editing the film.

Geeks rock!
Hail to the geek, baby.

[PR3SSUR3]

Dawn of the Dead was co-produced by the Argento brothers, so it was their prerogative to re-edit their film for Europe.


you could say Dawn of the Dead is the same as Zombi 2 which is know known as Zombi here in the states and yes i have seen fulcis zombi i have all five of the zombie movies do not question me for you are wrong

I dread to question you, but how is Dawn of the Dead the same as Zombi 2 when the films have never shared these two titles in either territory?

[crabapple]

Ya gotta admit that in the world of zombie movies, if there is a topic that can get confusing, it's this one. You say "Zombie" and folks don't know if you're talking about Zombie, Zombi, or whatever.

[PR3SSUR3]

I'd rather put it down to Yankee/Euro nuttiness - in the UK, we have Dawn of the Dead and fucking Zombie Flesh Eaters.

Namechanging noobs.

:D

[CHRIS24]

WELL I GUESS i WOULD WANT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS IF I WAS A SERIOUS COLLECTOR HOW HARD IS IT TO GET ARGENTOS VERSION?

Not very.

[crabapple]

You're in luck, pal. Just grab the Dawn of the Dead "Ultimate Edition" 4-DVD set, it features 3 versions of the film (including the Argento cut) and a truckload of extras, enough to choke a horse. Or maybe enough to choke something else.

I have two, one wrapped one not (couldn't pass one up for $17.99 on sale at CC...).

Isn't the hellicopter chop top scene missing in the short version?

[PR3SSUR3]

The helicopter scene isn't present in the Argento cut, nor is a lot of the violence from the original version. There is however lots more dialogue and Goblin music.

Incidentally, the alternative ending for Dawn of the Dead apparently had Peter go through with shooting himself and Fran committing suicide in the helicopter blades. This was decided simply too downbeat, and was probably a wise move - it is difficult to comprehend such a dejecting finale to this film, in spite of what had gone before in Night of the Living Dead.

[CHRIS24]

that would be a depressing ending but then again it wouldnt leave you hanging wonder where did they go with the helicopter.

[crabapple]

But you know where they went with the helicopter...

They went....away from the mall.

[CHRIS24]

WELL DID THEY SURVIVE

[crabapple]

Well, actually that's not really important...the important thing is that they learned that wanting the mall was "bad." So it's a happy ending primarily because a couple of them got away from the place.

[CHRIS24]

and there helicopter ran out of gas and crashed and they were both eaten.

[crabapple]

They do live in Zombie World, and you know, based on how things were in Day of the Dead, that zombies killed almost everybody, and probably them too....as nice as they were.
